Reading: We will be spending the next two weeks reading “Nate the Great: San Francisco Detective” found in the zebra book pages 70-94. This is a challenging story for your child to read on their own because it contains several idioms and American sayings. I will take the time to go over several phrases as we read the story over the next two weeks. Please take the time to read and explain what you can with your child. It is a longer story which will also require extra attention to plot details.
Writing and grammar: We are focusing on sentences. What is a sentence? What type of sentence is it? What is the end mark of a command, questions, exclamation or statement?
